title: [The copper content of the blood and skin in children with circumscribed scleroderma].
abstract: The authors have demonstrated the pathogenetic significance of elevated copper levels in the blood and involved skin in development of collagen metabolism disorders in children suffering from focal scleroderma. A correlation between elevation of blood serum copper level and the skin process dissemination and activity was revealed. Copper concentration in involved skin of these children surpassed 7-fold the normal value.
